What factors caused rome to plunge into civil wars and how did they weaken the republic

History
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
3 0
Roman society was one that constantly pushed romans to be more and more ambitious, to take more, do more and conquer more. Eventually you start stepping on people's toes who are trying to do the same thing, then you have two powerful people fighting for ultimate power (ceaser v. pompey, sulla v. marius, augustus v. marc anthony, etc.). Then there was the Marian reforms which made soldiers beholdened primarily to their general, not the state, for their rewards (usually land after the campaign was finished), couple that with legions frequently going further and further from Rome in the late republic, most Roman soldiers knew and depended on their general, and barely interacted with the state at all. So these generals gradually gained ferociously loyal armies that were closer to them than Rome in general, so they'd be pretty willing to fight for their general against another general, even when it would weaken the state as a whole. Obviously civil wars cause a huge amount of damage to their nation, both in lives and monetary cost. Plus usually whoever won the civil war would then proceed to kill all prominent citizens who even slightly leaned toward the opposing side. After two or three purges like this, many of the prominent families that made rome into a world power were completely in shambles and the bitter rivalries between them made future wars inevitable.

What were some of the factors that led to exodus of Africa-America from the south to the north
iren [92.7K]

After the slavery was officially abolished in all of the US, the African Americans were quick to move out of the South and migrate massively toward the North. There were several factors as to why this happened. One big factor was that even though the slavery was abolished, the segregation and discrimination continued, so the opportunities in life were very limited. The South was not industrialized, while the North was heavily industrialized, thus the African Americans saw an opportunity to work in the factories instead in the fields. The atmosphere in the North was much better for them, as the majority of the people welcomed them and had no problems with them because of their skin color.

In the seventeenth century, European activity in the Americas was largely driven by mercantilism. According to
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

export more than it imports

Explanation:

The colonial powers during the seventeenth century were led by the economic principles of the mercantilism. This economic principle was basically suggesting that in order for a country to gain as much wealth as possible, it needs to produce a lot, export more than it imports, and use protectionism as a defense mechanism. In order to accomplish this, the colonial powers engaged into mass production of goods that were in high demand and were sold for good price, resulting in creation of enormous plantations of cash crops. Some of the cash crops that contributed to accumulation of wealth through trade were the sugar cane, cotton, indigo, tobacco etc. Something else that this economic principle suggested was the creation or opening up of new markets, and the result of that was conquering new territories, where both the resources were used, and it was a new market for the products, though this came slightly later in the history.
